@neomerlinmagic I really didn’t know whether you were being serious or wanting to get some discussion going on this subject or some answers.

I think the objective of the leaderboards is to get 15 players who are all on a single board, from the same arena league and who are competing against each other. The game has a fallback system to fill in positions on leaderboards under certain circumstances – of which we have no details or understanding. In your case and in tomc’s case, there are obviously players from other arena leagues. In fact, in your case, of those who logged in for their results, I don’t see any from Gold. You only missed one set of objectives and the leaderboard is a mess.

I also believe the fallback system can kick in very early. About 4 weeks ago, @dallasreds appeared on @bubbley’s leaderboard. I don’t see @bubbley logging in late (except perhaps for a ABN leagues experiment), so this fallback system must also be able to trigger on leaderboards formed within the first 4 h of the start of a week.

Hopefully they are looking at changing the fallback system, as it definitely causes a lot of problems for players and clearly affects results.
